This object I attain in the rrianner hereinafter set forth, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1, is a view representing the various parts of a coat pattern constructed in ac cordance with my invention and intended for the production of a coat known as a cutaway; Fig. 2, represents the parts of my improved attern designed for the production of a sacr coat.

The pattern for a cutaway coat constructed in accordance with my invention is shown in Fig. 1 and comprises the foregoing parts, namely, the front body 1, the side body 2, the skirt 3, the back 4, and the tail 5, usually constituting part of the back.

The pattern for the front body 1 has a central vertical bar composed of sections 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, the front bar composed of sections 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18, a back bar composed of sections 19, 20, 21 and 22, a neck portion composed of sections 23, 24, 25 and 26, ashoulder portion composed of sections 27 and 28, an arm portion composed of sec- 4 tions 29, 30, 31 and 32, a waist bar composed of sections 33, 34 and 35, a bottom bar composed of sections 36, 37,38, 39 and 40, and transverse bars at the neck and breast, the neck bar being composed of sections 41, 42 and 43 and the breast bar being composed of sections 44 and 45.
